Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.
Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.
Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.
This model kit combines the iconic character GongSun Zan EZ-8 from the "BB Senshi Sangokuden" series with a regal chariot and powerful "Four Symbols Ogre Armor." It allows you to recreate epic battles and showcase GongSun Zan in a dynamic and imposing manner.
This kit boasts several exciting features that attract Sangokuden fans and model enthusiasts: Detailed figure and chariot: The kit features a meticulously designed GongSun Zan EZ-8 figure with intricate armor details, a majestic plume, and a fierce expression, all complementing the richly decorated and imposing chariot drawn by two horses. Four Symbols Ogre Armor: This unique armor set adds an extra layer of power and symbolism to the kit. The detailed armor pieces represent the four cardinal directions and their mythical beasts, enhancing the visual appeal and lore connection. Articulation and posing options: While being an SD kit, GongSun Zan features some articulation in the limbs and head, allowing for a range of poses and dynamic displays. Additionally, the chariot can be positioned in various ways to further enhance the scene. Weapons and accessories: The kit includes GongSun Zan's signature white sword and a musk tail weapon, adding to the character's combat prowess. Additionally, various stickers are included to add further detail and customization.
While the kit offers impressive detail and features, its assembly is considered beginner-friendly. It utilizes snap-fit construction, eliminating the need for glue and providing a straightforward process with clear instructions. However, the smaller parts may require some care and attention during assembly.
While the kit requires no glue, some additional tools can enhance your building experience: Hobby knife (optional): For trimming excess plastic from the parts. Sprue cutters (optional): For removing the parts from the runners. Tweezers: For handling small parts with precision.
If you'd like other Sangokuden kits featuring GongSun Zan, consider these options: BB Senshi GongSun Zan: This kit offers a simpler SD version of GongSun Zan without the chariot or armor.
